Bought a '76 Newman Mark V and have had only problems as some of you may have noticed. Paid $1,450 and have dumped a few hundred into random parts and pieces.
I went and knocked around on my transom, felt fine and springy, but the few inches under the hole for the outdrive felt more solid. I think with a new boot and some sealant, the boat would be just fine. It has one soft spot in the floor and the engine cover is busted. I think it would just be easier to part out. I have my eye on an '86 ebbitide with a 150 Merc. outboard.
The trailer is a Calkins roller. In ok shape, new rollers.
Boat has an OMC 190hp (Ford 302 block) that runs just fine and a non-orig outdrive that is also in good shape. Not sure what else people would want out of it.
If I could get $1,000 for it, I'd be willing to call it a learning experience. What do you think I could get for it?
